独立研究表明，性别和自我关注与抑郁症有关。在这篇文章中，我们报告了一系列研究调查这些变量之间的关系。使用标准的自我关注操作，研究1表明，女性比男性更倾向于自我关注。我们在研究2中重复了这些发现。在研究3中，我们进行了一项实验，以确定性别角色与实验性增加的自我关注相结合是否会导致负面事件发生后更多的情绪困扰。结果表明，女性个人谁收到了自我关注的操作响应更大的水平，自我关注的注意力和负面影响比任何其他组。我们解释的结果在自我关注的倾向，可能会导致女性的人经历抑郁症，或者作为一种替代，作为一个缺乏自我关注，可能会隔离男性个体的抑郁症的经验。
Research has independently shown that both gender and self-focused attention are linked to depression. In this article, we report a series of studies investigating the relation between these variables. Using a standard self-focusing manipulation, Study 1 suggested that women evidence a greater propensity to self-focus than men. We replicated these findings in Study 2. In Study 3, we conducted an experiment to determine if sex role in conjunction with experimentally increased self-focused attention would lead to more emotional distress after a negative event had occurred. Results suggested that feminine individuals who received a self-focusing manipulation responded with greater levels of self-focused attention and negative affect than did any other group. We interpreted findings in terms of a tendency to self-focus that might prime feminine people to experience depression, or alternately, as a lack of self-focusing that may insulate masculine individuals from the experience of depression.
